Purplelizard9 Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 Hiya Y'all! Dose any one have any info on Bio-Floc with ornamental shrimp? Quantities of Bio-Floc to use in nano tanks of less than 5 gallons? Has any one experienced deaths using Bio-Floc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacqueline Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 Biofloc might not be a good fit for something as sensitive as shrimp. Nitrate accumulation can be a big problem if too much is used and/or the shrimp can't eat fast enough. Also, you would have to pick which shrimp you use biofloc with very carefully, because additional alkalinity is often necessary to get the biofloc to thrive. Depending on where you live, biofloc can take a nosedive during the winter and rejuvenate again in the spring, so you might want to watch out for that. I imagine that a nano tank wouldn't be the best place to try it out - a large tank might be better so that nitrate accumulation won't kill off your shrimp very quickly if it starts to occur.
